ps fun fact - the watch on my wrist is one of my most prized possessions, a birthday gift from my parents from when I finished Year 6. Little me would have been ecstatic to hear that my childhood dream came true (big me is also ecstatic).

@PRINTconference @vinyl_and_latex Intern and resident years should be years of discovery. Learn medicine but also learn about yourself. Work out what gives you meaning in life. Then look for the career path that fulfils it.

If you are a man (or woman) who follows me on twitter can I recommend you check the gender ratios of the people you follow. If it alarms you, check my comments for a non exhaustive list of amazing women to follow on Twitter

Women have substantially less influence on Twitter than men: w/ 45% fewer likes, 48% fewer retweets/yr & half as many followers despite similar levels of use. And men are less likely to follow women. W/ @janemzhu @RainaMerchant In @JAMAInternalMed ja.ma/2VFFdEm

@Neel_Gobin @PRINTconference @ymeganfoo I mean it! As an interstate student the experience was even more valuable; while the content is obviously not very different between states it was great to hear from state organisations like @AMA_NSW and @NswHeti as well as meet my future colleagues working with me next year :)

After the #suicide of another medical colleague, I want EVERYONE to read this.
You are good enough.
Messy house - who cares
Bit of screen time - so what
No groceries done - get tuckshop
Feeling sad - ask for help
Not coping - ask for help
Please, please, ask for help.
🙋🌈🤝
